Current Gen Console Discussions (PS5, Xbox Series X, Switch (Pro?) OFFICIAL THREAD

Keep telling yourself that.

Zack's assessment of Steam is incredibly fair.

"Shrugs"

i don't see Steam being all that great, Yeah the prices are good but that's about it.

Servers don't go down and as well, you can play in offline mode.

Also, you can get cheap games, they are always updated to the most current level, huge selection and the community is great if there is an issue with a game. The indie scene that is happening right now is all thanks to Steam.

Whenever a issue pops up, I can always find an answer on a forum.

Me too. But I'll buy it for the PC and get a "3 monitors" thing going with a steering wheel and pedals. My homie has that setup and showed me Forza 4 like that a few weeks back. I can never again play it any other way. 😐

Oh, yeah, this. I really like the Steam sales. I bought 3 big name games during the steam sale for less than it costs to buy just one of them when they just came out.

just ridiculous. I love it!

I am now going to buy the $30 season pass for Borderlands 2 just to show my support for their game because I like it so much. Thank goodness for Steam sales. Devs and distributors should be quite thankful for Steam because I literally would not have spent money, otherwise.

Edit - Why are your posts the only ones worth responding to in this thread? Hmm? ANSWER ME! raaaaawwwr!

I've had no problems with Steam, and I've been using it for about five years now. Offline mode, helpful customer service, and the security of knowing that my games will always be accessible just wins it for me, tbh.

Plus the sales. Oh god, the sales.

PS4 Ram issue is not really an issue, since never in history has a game been developed that has come anywhere near to requiring 5gb of ggdr5 ram in order to run.

Sony is safe, and sony fans need to remember one thing. You're not buying a PS4 because it's going to be "xx" more powerful than -insert name here other brand - , you - I would hope - are buying a ps4 because you loved the ps3 and this next console is 10x more powerful/easy to develop for than the last one. PS4 should be compared to PS3 and that is all. Everything else is fluff.

I assume you mean a different racing game that Forza because it's not on PC, just the Xbox.

Yeah, I bought a fair bit of games but aside from Tomb Raider, nothing big name that was released recently. I'm waiting for the American Thanksgiving sale where some of the big titles released in 2012 fall-winter and early 2013, will be 75% off.

Interesting. I mistook his Forza 3 setup for a PC setup. I called him to confirm. I glazed over on the details when he explained but apparently you had to use two Xbox 360s to pull off the 3 monitors? Is that right?

Edit -
I googled and this dude has a similar setup that my homie did:

YouTube video

I just didn't think that setup could be done with consoles. I just made an assumption that was obviously wrong. What an expensive setup! I don't want to buy an XBone just to have that setup. But Forza III and IV were so enjoyable. 🙁

I didn't know about that sale. Thanks for the heads up.

Wow, that's nuts. I didn't know you could do that with the 360.

Yeah, I remember seeing a 1UP show where they had 6 screens but I can't find any info about it.

Anyways, for Forza 5, I'm buying a wheel/pedal for it. I'm hoping to get a Fanatec set but we will see what they offer for Xbox One.

I'm currently playing F1 2012 on PC with an XBOX 360 controller, it would be nice to be able to play racing games on PC and Xbox One.

Hopefully, Nintendo will go back to making good hardware like they did in the GameCube days.

Where it sold peanuts?

I think they rather make another Wii than another GameCube.

GameCube sucked balls outside of Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, and Pikmin. Just used mine as a door stopper and to support my couch. Nintendo needs to strike gold with like they did with snes and N64.

By all means lets forget the Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Resident Evil 4, REmake, 0, Eternal Darkness, Metroid Prime 1/2 and The Twin Snakes.

Mario Sunshine was average at best. Luigi's mansion is the worst "console seller at launch" Nintendo has ever released. Don't know about Pikmin.

A console like the Gamecube is exactly what I'd love from Nintendo. Not stupid shit like the Wii.

Don't forget Smash Bros. Melee and Geist.

Now I am off to get up to date with RvB

Then they fail as a company. GameCube didn't sell that many units.
